University of Utah Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at University of Utah accurate?

brandon

not all the time

Josh

Utah does have a high percentage of Mormon people, but at the U of U, the student body is a much lower percentage. The U is more liberal and the student body is diverse. The U does have a lot of commuting students from all over the valley.

Allie

Not at all.

KC

Not at all. I would almost say that most of the campus students are not LDS and there is definatly plenty of places to party ; )

Nate

No. Not as many Mormons as I thought. The ones I know are great! If you love adventure and the outdoors Utah is for you! Snowboarding/skiing, snowmobiling, hiking, mountain biking, rafting/kayaking, 4-wheeling, you name it its here.

For the most part

Suzi

No. There are plenty of people on campus who are not mormon. Not everyone outside of the LDS faith gets drunk or parties (including me).

Jamie

NO!!, you can find the goody-good mormons and associate with them if you wish, but you can also find people who are chill and your type.

Allie

Yes and no. There's a very, very strong Mormon community at the U of U but there's a lot of other things going on, to most people it doesn't matter if you're Mormon or not.

Tony

I'd say that neither are entirely accurate. Utah is a good balance of all different kinds of people. It's actually probably a pretty decent microcosm of society in general. I'm confident that anyone coming to this school would find someone that shares their same interest and beliefs.
